Ousmane Dembele says YES to PSG transfer

Let’s start with the breaking news overnight - from what I understand, Ousmane Dembele has said ‘yes’ to Paris Saint-Germain. The Barcelona winger has accepted the proposal and given the initial green light to the move. So, on Dembele’s side the deal is ready - a five-year contract has been agreed between PSG and Dembele together with his agent Moussa Sissoko.

PSG have also informed Barcelona with an official document telling them they are ready with an agreement with Dembele, and now it’s time to close the deal between the clubs. So, what now? PSG want to trigger the player’s release clause, as I’ve been saying since Friday, but they have to be super fast because the clause expires on Monday at midnight, central European time. Sources believe it might not be possible to make it happen in time and complete the whole process by that deadline.
